The inevitable end of those who reject God.
What Does Psalms 73:27 Mean?
The law of creation: distance from God is death. Not punishment imposed capriciously, but the organic consequence of separation from the source of life. 'Go a whoring from thee'—to abandon God is to prostitute oneself to what cannot sustain.
This is not Asaph's judgment on the wicked but the description of reality. The distance is the destruction. No special intervention is required; the law inherent in existence itself executes judgment.
